Italians release information gradually as relationships develop. Early interactions are warm and social but light on substantive detail. As trust builds through repeated contact and mutual reliability, more valuable and sensitive information is shared. Pushing for full disclosure early — demanding all the details in a first meeting — feels aggressive and signals that you do not understand how trust works.
The pace of information sharing tracks the pace of relationship development, and trying to rush either one makes people uncomfortable. This graduated approach is not evasiveness; it is a practical protection strategy refined over centuries. Revealing too much too soon to someone whose reliability is unknown creates unnecessary risk. Patience with this process signals social intelligence and earns you access to deeper information over time.
